After a day of talking AV at the vendor showcase, it was time to put the presentations aside and get a little competitive. 🏀🎱

We took over Rec Hall for our Vendor Appreciation Night, complete with arcade games, giant pong, pool, and plenty of laughs (and friendly trash talk). 😎

But the real reason we got everyone together? To say THANK YOU to our incredible vendor partners for showing up, sharing their expertise, and bringing so much energy to the showcase. And we're not done yet!

We appreciate the partnerships we've built and the people behind them. And we're glad we got to celebrate you all! 🙌

We’re keeping the momentum going from an incredible Day 1 at the Global Sales Mixtape 2026! 🎸🔥

The day kicked off with a breakfast sponsored by Yealink, followed by an inspiring start with Matthew McNeil and our "CTI on the Same Page" session featuring John Laughlin and Cathy Kelly. Huge thanks to our team for delivering such impactful presentations to set the tone for the week. 🎵

We also want to extend a big thank you to Microsoft for hosting lunch and to Mike Weinberg for a truly fantastic keynote address. It was the perfect start to a big week ahead!

Check out these highlights from Day 1. 🎬🤘

We handed Mike Krejci a box cutter and a brand-new Logitech Rally Bar 2. You can probably guess the rest.

From sealed carton to first power-on, he walks through the accessories and ports along the way. Logitech says one person can install it in minutes, and our video comes in just under four, admiring included.

New gear always makes for a good day at CTI.

Citizen engagement gets better when people can actually experience what's happening in the room. Crazy concept, we know.

When a resident joins a town hall, board meeting, or council session, the tech in that space shapes the experience immediately. Can they hear every speaker clearly? Can remote attendees see who has the floor? Can staff switch between presentations, public comment, and live discussion without losing momentum?

CTI designs meeting environments for exactly those moments, beamforming microphones for better voice pickup, camera systems with intelligent presets for consistent coverage, and DSP-based audio tuned for speech clarity, not just volume. For hybrid spaces, we integrate conferencing, content sharing, and room control so the meeting runs as one system, not a stack of disconnected tools.

The goal is simple: make public communication easier to run, easier to follow, and more effective for everyone in the room. 🎙️

A broadcast facility shouldn't need a rip-and-replace every few years just to keep up. The walls have been through enough.

The better approach is designing the core for change from day one. Flexible transport and room to grow, so new workflows plug in without calling a demolition crew.

At CTI, that means asking the harder questions early. Where does production grow first? What has to stay on-air while everything around it gets upgraded? Answer those up front, and the facility can absorb new control surfaces and hybrid workflows without rebuilding itself every budget cycle.

Nobody designs for the future by guessing it perfectly. You design a backbone that gives your team options when the future shows up.

Nothing ruins a concert faster than the screens going black mid-chorus. And someone in the crowd definitely got it on video.

That’s why CTI Live Events builds backup signal paths into indoor music shows. If one path fails, the show already has somewhere else to go, and the problem stays backstage where it belongs.

Lighting gets the same planning. Cues are programmed around the music so the big moments land on the beat.

Nobody buys a ticket to watch someone troubleshoot.

At CTI, we take a field-first approach in justice facilities, because "upgrade the AV" can't mean "pause the docket." Court doesn't wait for technology.

That shapes how everything gets done. Installs are staged around the schedule. Testing happens before it goes live, not during someone's hearing. Sometimes the fix is a new DSP and mic strategy, sometimes it's a control redesign that gives staff fewer steps.

Proceedings start on time and the record stays clear. Those two things are not negotiable, so we build around them.

Done right, courtroom modernization is almost invisible. Which is exactly how it should be.

We’re proud to see our CEO, John Laughlin, recognized by Commercial Integrator as part of its series! 👏

John has played a huge role in shaping CTI over the years, from growing the business to building a culture where people are encouraged to learn, lead, and grow.

His commitment to the people behind the work has always been a big part of his leadership, and it’s great to see his contributions to the AV industry getting the recognition they deserve.

Congratulations, John! Well deserved, and we’re proud to have you leading Team CTI. 💙

CTI’s Eric Snider and Crestron’s Andrew Ludke will explore how AI is shaping the future of AV and what organizations should be thinking about as they plan their next generation of connected spaces.

If you're involved in AV, IT, or workplace technology, this is a conversation worth joining.
